Mp.Magsdale's Courtship CFTAPTKR l.-HE PROPOSES. Mrs. Cornelia Ilunshaw sat in her armchair by the fire, dividing her at- tention about equally between the book on her lap and the clock on the mantle- piece. 'A quarter to twelve, and Peter not in yet.' said Mrs. Bunshaw ; 'near- ly midnight, and that precious pair still gadding about. It's disgraceful, scan- dalous I Once in a way, I shouldn't mind it, perhaps; bat this makes the third late night in one week. I won't go to bed till I give Peter a bit of my mind, if I sit up till daylight to do it.' i'lii- harangue which was apparently addressed to the oat, referred to the lady's brother Mr. Peter Mat sdale, and her cousin Mr. Allan Magsdale, who had gone out immediately after dinner for a stroll.' with a parting injunction to her not to ail up for them. We will take advantage of the oppor- tunity offered by Mrs. Bunshaw's tem- porary quietude to describe her appear- ance and circumstances, the fir .t being somewhat remarkable. She is a tall angular woman, of about fifty, with hard feat ares, and large thick-lipped month. Gray hair, cut short, and rath- er unkempt. She wears a plain black stun areas and an ancient shawl. She i> a clever strong-minded woman, who has taken a prominent part In organ- ising and promoting a 'Society tor the Protection of Women's Rights.' the members of which still regard her as its moving spirit. She seldom takes an active part in its proceedings now, bow- ever, except at the annual meeting, when Mrs. Cornelia Bunsbaw's speech ! looked forward to aa the feature of an occasion whose importance U not yet fully recognised by the world on which the Society's operations are destined to have a stupendous and far-reaching ef- fect. An unlovely being is Mrs. Bun- shaw, and we see her at her worst as she sits bolt upright, listening with wrathful eagerness for the font steps she expects to hear every moment on the gravel path outside. The late Mr. Bunshaw departed this life many years ago, taking with him a wide theoretical knowledge of the rights of women, and a burning practi- cal sense of the wrongs of man, for which he was indebted to the principles and teachings of the wife he left be- hind him. His childless relict now re- sided with her brother and cousin at Ajitley Villa. Putney. The former. Mr. Peter Magsdale. was thirty-three year* of age. a small retiring peraon, the very meekest and most timid of Somerset House clerks. His sister, who was left a considerable fortune, made him heir to her property on the condition that she was to take up her abode with him when and for HO long as she pleased a stipulation he often deeply regretted, but had not courage to repudiate. Mr. Allan Magsdale. the cousin, aged twenty-six, was an architect by profes- sion. He possessed a boundless fund of animal spirits, and his guiding prin- ciple in life was to obtain as much en- joy menl from it as possible. It would be bard to find two men more disaimi- li in every H-.,|H-,-I than Peter and Allan; but I hey lived together in the most perfect concord, until Mr, Kun- shaw's arrival at Aslley Villa wrought a change in the spirit of their dream, and drew ther even more closely to- gether than oefore ' Peter would never behave like this if he were left to himself.' soliloquised hl sister. 'It's Allan 1 havn to (hank for leading him ant ray. Dot it shan't Gi on. I'll let Peter understand that aster Allan must look out for other quarters. He shan't stay here another week.' It would not be easy to define Mrs. Bunshaw's objections to her brother's doings They could not have cauied her any inconvenience, and her task of sitting up for him was purely self- impiised. It is probahle that the in- tense dislike she had for her cousin was the motive which prompted her to interfere, for she was perfectly cor- rect in assigning Peter's mistxmduct lo him. Without liim. Mr. Magx'tale would have, known the orgien called smoking concerts only by name; the music halls of the met ropolitt would have been nnl nxlden uronnd: whilst the idea of snug but rat her uproarious little suppers after such entertainments would hardly have entered his mind. Now. thanks to Allan, he 'knew his way about ;' and he reaped a fearful joy from IILS little u irked nejwes. which de- rived addit ional piquancy from t he fact that the sister wno ruled him knew little of the manner in which his even- ings were spent. Hut though Mrs. Ilun- shaw wan ignorant of the exai-t nature of IILS nocturnal pastiqies, and disdained to question him on the subject, the late hours he affected furnished her with ample grounds for the indignant wrath she cherished against the hard- ened sinner who led him astray. Lat- terly, she had observed a discreet m licence in her inlenxnirse with Allan; bis buoyant soul and unfailing (rood temper rendered him impervious to put ronage and snubs alike : whilst his ag- giavating habit of turning her most cutting sarcasms into ridicule, hail forc- ed her (o conclude that it was safest to leave him alone. It was past midnight when Mrs. linn haw's strained attention caught the sound of a latchkey being stealt hily in- serted in the lock, and she drew herself up to receive the delinquents, whose hushed movements in the hall betray- ed their belief that the orcupnnta of the bouse were in ln-d ' We might have a little drink lie- fore turning in,' said Mr. Magsdale as be opened the drawing-room door i;.> and n<-( tin- things from the sideboard, like a goo I fellow .' Allan departed on his errand, leaving bis unsuspecting relative to enter the drawing room and encounter Mrs. llun- ahaw by himself. 'Are you aware of the hour.

' About twenty-five minutes past twelve, Peter,' aaid the lady in measur- ed tones which conveyed a world of meaning. Mr. Magsdale drew out his watch, and after looking earnestly at it. ac- knowledged the impeachment. ' Ah. perhaps it is about Iwdtime,' be said, listening anxiously for Allan's ap- proach-' Missed the train sorry we're so late.' be added in a penitent mur- mur. Mrs. Bunshaw turned upon him with awful calmness began:'! must leave your bouse. Peter. I came here with the wish and the intention of guarding your interests ; but the life of debauch- ery which jfou lead which you have been led into, I should say makes my residence here impossible. I must go-' She paused. Her brother would have given half bis income for courage enough to bid her go and never return, hut nature had not endowed him with it, so he sighed sadly and said : 'Oh no, Corney ; I couldn't think of it.' This, of course, was the answer she expected, and she resumed: 'I should be most unwilling to go most unwill- ing ; my duty is to remain with you. But unless Allan Magsdale leaves the house. I must do so. You see that yourself ' Mr. Magsdale did not see it at all, but only replied again more faintly than before : 'Oh no. Corny ; I couldn't think of it/ At this juncture the door flew open In response to a vigorous kick without, and Allan entered with his tray. ' 1 can't lay bands on a bottle of soda- water.' he said testily. 'I suppose Cor- nelia' Mrs. Kunshaw, who had escaped his observation in the dim lamplight, emit- ted a warning cough ; and Allan altered his tone to one of presuasive sweetness as be addressed her: 'Have you any in the bouse, Cornelia f 'None.' curtly responded the lady. ' Oh. never mind.' said he. taking her favourite armchair and stooping for- ward to turn up the lamp. ' Tell me when to stop. Peier ' he continued, pressing a glass into his kinsman's hand and grasping the decanter ; whilst Mrs. Ilunshaw looked on in speechless rage There was not in all London and its suburbs a more temperate man than Peter Magsdale ; but at this moment he was so absorbed in his sister's threat- ening altitude, which presaged an im- mediate storm, that he accepted half a tumbler of brandy before be noticed what had been given him. As he held it mechanically up to the light. Mrs. Hutu-haw strode forward and took it from his hand. ' Are you going to drink all this. Peter T' she asked, striving to speak calmly. She was furiously angry ; hut so well did she succeed in controlling herself, that the obliging Allan mis- took her meaning, and courteously rose, offering to bring a tumlder for her. He had not the least intention of giving offence ; it was not unusual for hsr to join them in a 'nightcap,' but be coulil not have selected a more iinpropitiouJ time to remind her of it. Mrs. Hun shaw cast a withering look upon him. but did not deign to make any reply She possessed herself of the decanter carefully rrpl.ni- I the contents of her brother's glass in it. and. still retain ing the decanter, awepl from the room, leaving the two to eTijov what refresh- ment they might want from the water jug. Having locked up the spirits, she returned, and. ignoring her cousin's presence, reiterated the announcement she had made before : ' Kit her I leave the house, or Mr. Allan Magsdale goes; and I shall be glad if you will make up your mind on the point to-night.

The social and the physical results of women's forsak- ing the home for the factory have in various parts been anything Imt encour- aging to the sticklers for equality be- tween the sexes. In I Jincashire women's labor in factories has almost entirely destroyed the home life of the operative class, and led to an alarmingly high rate 1 of mortality among infanta. It is tend- ing also to the enervation and the moral degeneracy of the male population. Among l^ncashire weavers it is not an uncommon thing for the young men to select for wives mill-hands who can maintain them in partial or entire idle- ness. Many families there rely more upon the women bread-winners than up- on men. The physical and the social conse- quences of the system are deplorable | and the new factory act will not tend to improve things much. From the wages point of view, the workers, as a clans, gaii. nothing by it. The competi- tion li) women lends to keep wages down. Among the weavers, although. as the machinery is driven faster and PII\ incut is made by the piece, more is earned to-day than formerly, the rate paid is virtually the same as it was forty years ago. In nearly every em- ployment which dons not suffer from competition by women the rate of wages is from fifty to seventy per rent higher now than it was then It is only among the weavers that the rate of payment rules so low in Lan- cashire. In the spinning and other ill-part meiiis of the cotton industry the men have by their unions more generally kept women out. and as a rule the workers earn nearly double the wages of the weavers.

A WONDERFUL COWRY SOMETHING ABOUT BEAUTIFUL ARGENTINE. r. J. A rib or NscBlir. l-Brsl fr nail., es*aki vrii .r ll-latasease Wkeal I r|i. aid S Cr ..! < llmtlr *l< Wllllo.. of Kt-.plr .. I . Hialll*- CSV *!. The adaptability of the Irish charac- ter to environment is well illustrated in the case of Mr. J. Arthur Maguire. who. starting- out as a Quebec boy of Irish parents, ficds himself to-day Consul- General of Argentine for the Dominion of Canada, with Spanish for his normal tongue, with an Argentine lady for wife, and children who call him father in the liquid accents of Castile. Spanish, in- deed, U only one of Consul-general Maguire's acquirements ; be speaks half a dozen languages; he has travel- led pretty nearly all over the world ; be la an accomplished and observant gen- tleman. But Spanish is the official language of Argentine, and the beter- rogeneous population of which it is com- posed find it necessary to acquire it. It would appear to be easily mastered, for, according to Mr. Maguire, the foreign population, which is such a large factor in Buenos Ayres, may be beard in busi ness and social relations doing their best with it shortly after landing in the country. If you had the eyes and ears of Mr. Maguire. for example, you would enjoy this little bit of human nature: Two men are walking along the streets of Buenos Ayres. They have fallen out about something. Their words are hot and rapid ; they make violent gesticulation. Chiefly, they speak Spanish with an accent that is startlingly like the rich tongue of the Wicklow valley. The war of words be- comes fierce ; you expect to see the two men come to blows. " Arrsb. give us the English spache, if ye plase. and don't bother us any more with that lingo." suddenly cries one of the two, and immediately after- wards they become friends in THE OLD TONGUE. The truth is. we know little about Argentine. If we did. according to Con- sul-General Maguire. a great many more of us would visit the beautiful country, where life is safe and pleasant, where the climate is beautiful, and where we might extend our trade. Not long ago it took you six weeks to reach Buenos Ayres by way of Kurope. not to speak of the expense. Mow there is a line of steamers from New York, which does the journey in twenty-four days, for a sum of $137. And when you reach Ruenos Ayres /ou see t he finest harbor in t he world ; you see dock* which put those of Liver- pool to shame ; yon see a population which is representative of every race under heiven. you see a beautiful it \ of three quarters of a million of inhabit .im s. who are orderly and p.uieablc and prosperous : and you may travel through a count rv in which life is as sirred as in any Kuronean city a country of im .'ncnse distance-), where for thousands of miles the plain is as level as asphalt, without a stone, and without an undul- ation, and through which the plough has only to be lightly run to yield up immense harvests. Something will happen some day in Argentine which will make an immense change in the destiny of the country. The native Spanish race, which is dom inant. and win, li rules the country, U too fiery for stability. 'It is too fond of fighting It liki-.s heroics Heroics <|i. not build ships or make roads. Heroics are bad colonizers. There is a law pass- ed now by which all persons born in Argentine. OF WHATKVKR PARENTS, will be eligible for the highest offices in the state, from the president down " We should have had this long ago." said ConsiiMirneral Maguire. "There- suit of this will be in time the (growth of a people who will be an intermediary between the fiery impulsiveness of the nstive race on the one band, and the coldness of the Anglo-Saxon on the other." When this race attains to number ami power, the Spaniards will disappear aa the North American Indians are disap pearing. Government will be stable The country will be opened up. The rifle will lie exchanged for the plough- share. Meantime, there is a government r., .tidied upon that of the I'nited Slates; there is a national guard of sev- en hundred thousand men; there is a free press which numbers in its ranks fourteen Knglish journals; and there is more wheat than the people can handle. There would have been two million ton, last January. Mr. Maguire says, if there had been enough labour to handle the crop Wheat is something rather new with Argentine. The republic de- n. led upon the horses and sheep. 'hen- were tentative attempts at iv ht-at -grow ing. indeed, hut it was not till after the llai ings failure, which threatened to bring about a general col l'ip,e. t 'i.-it the people took to wheat- growing in earnest. You only need to prick toe ground with your plough, sow your seed, and wait. The harvest will be so abundant that you will not know what to do with it And then there is maize and linseed. India once had the palm for linseed; now il has hcn wrested from the east. Mr. Maguire is very anxious that the trade relations between the AINiKN I INK VNH CAN \|i\ should be encouraged lie thinks there might he a grrt expansion of these for i. 0111,1 benefit lie has tried to do .-omethmg in thn way personally, and he relates, with a grim humor, the n- suit of a most elaborate effort lo induce Canadians to send their shipment-- In guehec in-Head of through New York, lie chartered a ship at Quebec on his own responsibility, and went amongst the prominent exporters.

This is now they manage the bank- rupt in the Argentine Republic When a man U in difficulties he reports his state to the commercial judge, who goes to hU place of business, closes it. puts his official seal on the door, makes rigid examination. If the man has merely been unfortunate, the commer- cial judge recommends him to the clemency of his creditors, who help him out of bis difficulties, and set him on his feet, if that be possible. If, on the other hand, he has been guilty of secret ing or squandering the estate, be is re- legated to the criminal judge, who COMMITS HIM TO PRISON. Aa has been stated, the natives are ex citable. There U a little dispute be tween Chili and Argentine over the boundary lines. Of course, there is no immediate danger; but the Spaniards love fighting, and do not wait for large provocation. It is curious, too. that though both peoples are Spanish, they hate each other like poison. " I was in a theatre in Valparaiso, and a beautiful young woman came out and sang the Chili national anthem Well, the applause was something which you could not appreciate. It wan a delirium of deiignt. On the other hand, when another young woman un- dertook to sing the Argentine national hymn, the audience rote as one man. hissed and yelled, broke the chairs, threatened. wall," said Mr. Maguire. simply. " I left as quickly as possible." Amongst those who succeed well in Argentine are the Irish. The latter took at the start to sheep farming, and have prospered marvellously. They have a club in Buenos Ayres. where the great sheep farmers congregate when they come in from the country. They have many millions of dollars inveated in this industry. Mr. Maguire is of opinion that the best thing which could happen the Cen- tral American republics would be the formation of a zollverein. which would give them stability, and put an end to the constant fighting in which these lit tie republics all delight. " And the worst of it is that they can fight ; that they are greatest fire-eat- ers you can imagine ; that, as I saw in Valparaiso, they take off even their shirts to the business; and fight with their bare bodies streaked with blood. This passion for war is horrible ; a ioin- ing together of the petty republics would put an end to il." HOW THIEVES ARE TRAINED IN NAPLES. a MM TsaiM i ..ex nrt Mcal-Tkry i Ksew (.at** ai v. 1 1 r I"* . right I- Ik* ft*r*el>. An interesting account of the way in which young children are prepared to enter the Camorra is given by Dr. de Hlasio, a Neapolitan physician who has been studying the habits of criminals. The Camorra at Naples, like the Mafia in Sicily, is an organization of crimin- als and associates of criminals that if centuries old. The Camorra begins its work with the infanta who are aban- doned by their parents, or who are lent out to the impostors who beg in lor streets of Naples. These children, for I he most part those of persona in prison, am taught to beg for the end of a cigar or a soldo, and infest the cafes In winter they sleep in holes and stables, in summer on the church steps, undei archways, or on the benches in the public gardens. When they are six or seven years old they are instructed in begging and thieving by older children At ten years of age the little Catnor rista. or little thief, becomes a canta tore (singer). He must know how to improvise a snng to the girls, and reply with an extemporaneous verse to the verse of a companion or of an antagonist In Naple.s then- are two armies of can- latori. one belonging to the streets in the older part of the city, and one to those of the west end. They consti tut,' the neophites of the Camorra. and compete in public, passing their etannn at ions by night in the streets They chome for the subject of their chants anything that takes place in the city, i ml very often the object of derisive songs is an old man or A POOR IDIOT. The better clans hear these scoffs, but do not interfere, and often laugh at the wit which is scarcely ever missing The two bands are naturally great rivals, and once a year at least they uefy each other to a series of battles in which stones are the weapons, and at the close of the fray knives too often come into play. This practice of bat- tles with stones among boys can he traced back as far as 1625. for at (bat period the Duke of Alva caused thirty 'lone throwers" to be arrested in Naples The war cry of the boys is " Aniella., Amelia." the derivation of whi h is not certain.

Arriving at the hospital the Captain learned that the surgeon would not operate, and be hastened home. Suliaequently several doctors tried to fish out the teeth with probes, but they could not be reached. and they expressed the opinion that they had passed into the stomach.

This dog never sees a match lighted with- out attempting to put it out. and jumps and snaps at it in a most excited man- ner. When he was quite young I drop- ped something on the floor, and as it was growing dark, lit a candle and stooped down to look for it. The dog jumped at the candle and extinguished it I thought it was done by accident and relit it. The annimaf snapped again at the flame, and again put It out. He ban i.ft.-n ainged himielf sub- sequently, but has always persevered, when permitted, till he has put out a match lighted and held within jumping reach, or a lighted candle, but as paraf- fin lamps are used in our bouse, we have thought it rather dangerous to encour- age his proclivity, lest it might lead to accident .
